Black Gold MODD Sight Dovetail Mount

Black Gold MODD Bow Sight — Dovetail | Bridge-Lock Compatible

The Black Gold MODD isn't just a new sight — it's a completely new way to think about bow sights. MODD stands for Modular On Demand Design, and that name means something. Instead of buying a new sight every time your hunting style changes, the MODD lets you swap cartridges, change tapes, upgrade lenses, and adapt your setup without touching your zero. One sight. Infinite configurations. Built for the hunter who demands precision today and versatility tomorrow. The Dovetail version mounts with a Bridge-Lock compatible dovetail and standard mounting bracket — engineered for optimal sight height, precise center alignment, and a secure riser-to-sight interface.

Key Features

MODD Cartridge System — Modular by Design

The heart of the MODD is its modular cartridge system. Swap between a clean single-pin setup for maximum visibility, dual-pin, vertical 3-pin for multiple distance references, or a 5-pin horizontal head — all without replacing the entire sight. The cartridges are designed to change fast and lock in securely, so you can run a single pin for spot-and-stalk season and flip to a triple-pin for treestand hunting without any hassle. Your sight grows with you and adapts to how you hunt — no extra investment required beyond the cartridge you need.

GlideDrive System — More Travel, Smoother Adjustment

The GlideDrive system increases total vertical travel beyond what most moveable sights on the market can reach, while delivering smoother, more controlled adjustment throughout. Every click is consistent and stable — no binding, no skipping. The result is confident dialing at extended distances with repeatable accuracy you can count on. If you've ever run out of tape on a long-distance shot, GlideDrive solves that problem for good.

Advanced PhotoChromatic Technology — Full-Surround Light Control

Black Gold's legendary PhotoChromatic Technology gets a complete redesign in the MODD. Full-surround light control works in conjunction with an optimized fiber block to regulate pin brightness across changing light conditions while eliminating the dark pin effect found on many premium sights. The result is crisp, highly visible aiming points and consistent pin clarity from first light to last — automatically, without any manual adjustment. No dim pins at dawn. No washed-out pins at midday. Just perfect brightness all day long.

.015 Pin Size — The Best of Both Worlds

Black Gold made .015 the new standard on the MODD — and it's the right call. At .015, the pin combines the low-light brightness and fast acquisition of a .019 with the refined, precise sight picture of a .010. You get visibility when the light is poor and precision when the shot is long, in a single pin that doesn't force you to choose between them. It's the smartest pin size on the market.

Removable Speed Ring — Tape on the Outside

The MODD relocates the sight tape to the outside of the housing via a removable Speed Ring — a significant departure from traditional sight design. Moving the tape outside creates a cleaner, more natural viewing angle on modern bows and eliminates the visual clutter of a tape inside the housing. The removable Speed Ring also makes tape swaps fast and easy for different arrow configurations without disturbing your sight settings. Setup is faster, the view is cleaner, and changing setups is simpler than it's ever been.

Flip-Face Windage System — One Sight, Any Platform

By simply reversing the windage face, the MODD adapts to standard mounting, Bridge-Lock style systems, or Picatinny rail setups — all while maintaining proper sight alignment and full adjustment range. This flexibility means if you upgrade your bow, you're not buying a new sight. The MODD moves with you. The Dovetail version ships configured for Bridge-Lock compatible mounting with a standard mounting bracket.

Independent 3-Axis Micro-Adjustment — Tuned to Perfection

Perfect axis alignment is critical for accuracy on steep angles, uneven terrain, and extended distances. The MODD features independent micro-adjustments for first, second, and third axis — each tunable without affecting the others. The result is faster setup, more precise adjustments, and unmatched repeatability across any terrain or shot angle you encounter in the field.

5-Position Rechargeable Sight Light

Most sight lights scatter light inside the housing and wash out your pins. The MODD's rechargeable light delivers focused illumination exactly where it's needed — keeping pins bright without distracting glare. Five brightness positions let you dial in the right light level for any condition. Automatic shutoff keeps the battery ready when it matters most. Charges via USB-C, included in the box.

Lens Compatible — 2X and 4X Magnification

The MODD is engineered for seamless integration with Black Gold's premium 2X and 4X magnification lenses, sold separately. If you ever want to add magnification to your setup, the MODD is already built to accept it — no adapters, no workarounds, just a clean upgrade path when you're ready.

Lightweight and Balanced — 10.6 oz

At 10.6 ounces and built with structural efficiency in mind, the MODD delivers its full feature set without burdening your bow's balance. Every gram of weight was considered in the design — giving you a premium, fully-featured sight that doesn't change how your bow feels in your hand.

Who It's Built For

The Black Gold MODD Dovetail is for the bowhunter who wants a sight that evolves with their hunting. Whether you're a single-pin purist, a multi-pin multi-species hunter, or somewhere in between — the MODD adapts to your style. The Bridge-Lock compatible dovetail mount makes it the ideal choice for Mathews shooters and any bow accepting a standard dovetail-style mounting bar. Available in .015 / 3-Pin Vertical / Right Hand at Extreme Outfitters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MODD Cartridge System?

The MODD Cartridge System is the modular core of the sight. Instead of buying a completely new sight for different hunting styles or seasons, you swap cartridges — going from a single-pin setup to a 3-pin vertical or a 5-pin horizontal by changing the cartridge. Pins are also swappable within cartridges, making the entire system adaptable without disturbing your zero.

What bows is the MODD Dovetail compatible with?

The MODD Dovetail mounts via a Bridge-Lock compatible dovetail and standard mounting bracket, making it compatible with Mathews Bridge-Lock bows and any bow that accepts a standard dovetail-style mounting bar. The Flip-Face Windage System also allows the sight to be reconfigured for different platform styles. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific bow, give us a call before ordering.

What is the .015 pin size and why is it better?

The .015 MODD Pin sits between the industry-standard .019 and .010 sizes. It combines the brightness and low-light visibility of a .019 with the refined, less-obstructed sight picture of a .010 — giving you the best of both in a single pin. Black Gold made it the new standard on the MODD because it performs better in more conditions than either extreme.

What does the GlideDrive System do?

GlideDrive increases total vertical travel compared to standard moveable sight mechanisms and delivers smoother, more consistent adjustment throughout the travel range. This gives you access to more usable yardage and more precise control when dialing to extended distances.

Can I add a magnification lens to the MODD?

Yes. The MODD is built for seamless integration with Black Gold's 2X and 4X magnification lenses, sold separately. No adapters or workarounds are required — the MODD accepts them directly.

Is there a Picatinny version of the MODD?

Yes. The MODD is also available in a Quick Link Picatinny mount configuration for bows featuring a Picatinny-style sight rail — including Hoyt In-Line compatible bows. See the MODD Sight Quick Link listing at Extreme Outfitters.
